TribuIasions OF an Inventor.

The way of inventors without
means or supporters is not to be en-
We'd. Nothing can be done with an
invention in the present day unless
the aspiring genius who secures a
patent also engages the attention Of
men with money. Great corporations
have to be approached, and rs they
are not, as a rule, disposed to espouse
the cause OF every plausible device,
the man with patent must demon
strate to the satisfaction of managers
that his ideas will stand the brunt Of
actual service after emerging from the
experimental stage. The moral Of
this is that an inventor, to be Success
full, must have sufficient ability to Or
ganize strong company composed OF
men whose names are guarantee,
and then one corporation will protect
the other. This would have assured
the adoption OF the Terry cable system
in this city. Without big company
behind the patent to take care of it.,
eastern capitalists who invested in the
bonds issued en- the new cable system
refused to look at it, and simply said /:
elf you want our money You must
take system that has been tried TO
our satisfaction. We want no expert
ments involving our millions" -
Globe Democrat.

ORIGIN OF A FAMOUS REMARK.
HOW the Governor Of North Car
"iha C"me to Observe TINT Il
was a Long Time Between

| NOW the Governor Of North Car
ohna Came to Observe TINT IL
was Long Time Between
Drinks.
A Washington letter to the Phila-
delphia Record says: assistant
Secretary Of the Treasury Thompson
was formerly Governor of South Car.
ollna, and might, therefore, be sup
posed to know more or less about that
famous remark of the Governor of
North Carolina. He said to me the
other day that it was marvellous how
lar that remark had travelled. Dur
ing his long tour of inspection among
the lighthouses and life-saving stations
on the great lakes this Summer, he
heard of in the most unexpected by
ways and places. why he con-
tinued, 'one day, Mr.. Kimball (the
Superintendent of the Life-saving
Service) and l went ashore at little
village to get shaved. We found a
barber-shop and two inquisitive bar
bers. The one who shaved me asked
questions about my journeyings until
he found out that was from Wash
ington, and then he asked me whether
had a place in any of the depart
ments. l told him had, but did not
tell him what it was, and he did not
think it was we'll to pursue the SUBJ
ject. He got through before the
other barber, and told Kimball as
surrendered my chair to an old
countryman, that 1 would wait for
him outside. No sooner had 1 gone
than my barber asked Kimball who l
was. "That was Governor Thompson
of South Carolina" he said, "now
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury"
With that the old farmer rose up in
his chair, all lathered as he was, and
said: do you suppose be would tell
me what it was the Governor of North
Carolina said to him? asked Gov
ernor Thompson who those famous
Governors were and just what oc-
cured at their meeting. He said he
did not know them by name and that
the story was old when he was born.
The tradition was that the Governor
of North Carolina, in the old days
when prohibition was not dreamed Of,
journeyed on horseback, OF course, to
make formal call on the Governor
of South Carolina. The latter had a
jugful Of liquor in the house at the
time, and for some inexplicable rea-
son could get no more. When his
distinguished guest arrived he sat the
jug on the table and invited the Gov
ernor of North Carolina to make him
self at home. The guest drank
copiously, the host moderately, to
preserve at once his soberness and his
liquor. At last he saw with dismay
that his guest had drank the last drop
OF the precious liquor. The guest was
too drunk to know it, but he missed
the familiar invitation OF the host to
take another drink. So, leaning on
his elbows, he looked across the table
reproachfully with the melancholy re-
mark: Governor, it's long time be-
tween drinks.'"

A Story with a Moral.

The death of 1. S. Kalloch recalls a
stormy period in San Francisco poll
tics. The time of the Kearney excite
ment, the new constitution struggle
and the election OF 1879 was most
eventful period. Kalloch was one Of
the most remarkable characters ever
known. He possessed great ability, a
fine presence, was fluent speaker
and possessed the boundless po er Of
swaying men that makes a great
leader. Mr.. Kalloch's rapid rise to
power and to the influence he pos
sessed over the city was equaled only
by his sudden extinction. If Mr..
Kalloch had been possessed of politi-
cal morality, his ability and his power
of swaying the people would have car
ried him to any office in the gift OF San
Francisco. He used his office for his
own profit, and when his term ended
he dropped out of sight as completely
as though he had never been. He re-
tired to an obscure position in Wash
ington Territory and dies in neglect.
He was an eloquent preacher, but the
close OF his life is more impressive
sermon than any he ever delivered
from the pulpit.-S. f. Post.

Christmas Coming.

The Herald says that everybody in
New York is on tiptoe trying to catch
the first glimpse OF Christmas. The
shopkeepers are fairly driving us
crazy. They display their goods in
such tempting fashion and have im-
ported from all parts of the globe SO
many articles of use and ornament
that we already feel the premonitions
of bankruptcy. All right. The Christ
mas holidays are always the pleas
ATTEST of the year, and the delicious
uncertainty as to the number of pres
ents you Will receive and whether
you will receive any at all-that is
what makes life worth living. The
ecstacy OF finding on your table just
what you have been limiting for dur
ing the last three months, and your
childlike expression OF wonder that
anybody could dream that that was
Just what you wanted above every
thing else-these form the delights of
Christmas and prove that human ma
ture is fearfully and wonderfully
made.
